Students urged to gain deeper understanding of biodiversity

Everyone has the responsibility to preserve the nation’s living biodiversity heritage, said Cherukuri Venkateswara Prasad, a member of the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA), after inaugurating a week-long series of awareness programmes under the theme ‘Seshachalam – A Living Heritage of Biodiversity’ at Sri Venkateswara University (SVU), in Tirupati on Saturday.

The Department of Student Welfare and Cultural Affairs (DSWCA) at SVU is organising special awareness programmes on biodiversity, culture, and traditions for students, researchers, and faculty members across all degree colleges and university colleges affiliated with the university to mark the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
